alt


The Finnish Institute has compiled a list of Finnish literature published in Britain translated into English in the past decade. The mapping of translated literature is part of the Institute's aim to raise the level of Finnish involvement in the British literary market.

For further information on Finnish literature, please also consult ‘Books from Finland', a journal of writing from and about Finland, published by the Finnish Literature Society in association with FILI - Finnish Literature Exchange.
